In March 2022 the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) created the California Statewide Housing Plan, which describes the vision to ensure every Californian has a safe, stable, and affordable home. The plan describes the immediate need for action, identifies the steps the state and local governments are currently taking to address the housing problem, and provides short-term and long-term strategies to address these problems. The Housing Affordability Interactive Dashboard provides data on housing conditions and costs, households and their housing needs, and housing production.
